The cherry popsicle seems like a joyous representation of summer fun, however, any frozen fruit juice served on a stick can be a ‘popsicle.’  The credit for the invention of this delicious treat goes to an 11-year-old boy! Francis William Epperson accidentally invented it in 1905. After mixing up a powdered soda, he left the beverage overnight with the stirring stick in it. Temperatures dropped unusually low that night and the next morning, Epperson found the liquid frozen on the stick. He dubbed the creation the Epsicle, which he later changed the name to popsicle in 1924....and people have been enjoying them ever since!
